2024-06-17 National Eat Your Vegetables Day
【Tomorrow at Dawn (Demain, dès l'aube)】 Victor Hugo (1802-1885) Tomorrow, at dawn, when the countryside brightens, I will depart. You see, I know that you wait for me. I will go through the woods, I will go past the mountains. I cannot remain far from you any longer.
I will walk, eyes set upon my thoughts, Seeing nothing around me and hearing no sound, Alone, unknown, back bent, hands crossed, Sorrowful, and for me, day will be as night.
I will not watch the evening gold fall, Nor the distant sails going down to Harfleur, And, when I arrive, I will put on your grave A bouquet of green holly and heather in bloom. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《明天破曉》】 (法國)勝利者·雨果“哲人”(1802生—1885卒) 【紅霞譯】 明天，破曉時分，當鄉間泛白， 我將出發。我知道你已在等我。 我要穿過森林，翻越山脈。 我無法再離你遠去。
我邊走邊陷入沉思， 對身外之物不見不聞， 孤身獨行，鮮為人知，駝着背，叉着手， 傷心難過，白晝於我暗如黑夜。
我不去看夕陽灑落的金色餘暉， 也不去看遠航阿弗勒爾“海灣”的船帆， 等到的時候，我會在你的墓前放上 一束翠綠的冬青和盛開的石南花。 〖注〗《明天破曉(Demain d'aube)》也許是雨果最著名的詩作，這是寫給已去世四年的時為19歲新婚女兒“勇敢者”(Léopoldine)。1843年，Léopoldine及其丈夫在塞納河划船中不幸溺水身亡。 【注】法國17世紀梅多克“中原”堡地處西歐最大河口——吉倫特“圓潤”河口(Gironde Estuary)的左岸，是路易“名將”十四的可靠顧問——“尊者·神父·沃邦”(Sébastien le Prestre de Vauban)設計構建的，旨在保護圓潤河口免受英國入侵，防止敵船繼續沿河向位於上游的地區首府波爾多“水邊”(Bordeaux)進發，畢竟河道的長寬度足以成為內陸海軍突襲的目標。由於當時大炮的射程無法覆蓋整個河流(3公里/1.9英里)，沃邦又設計了其它兩座堡壘：右岸1.4公里/0.9英里外的布萊“咽喉”堡(Citadel of Blaye)和1.9公里/1.2英里外的佩特“磐石”堡(Fort-Paté)，三座堡壘聯成一線，通過建立交叉火力來共同保護河口，阻止敵人抵達水邊城，以此產生極具威懾力的防禦系統。 2008年，中原堡因與咽喉堡和磐石堡同屬“沃邦防禦工事”群而被列入聯合國教科文組織《世界遺產名錄》。 Today in History(歷史上的今天):
